Day 103 Fish Oil Study ~ 6 months ago....

Today was six months since our nightmare started. I've lived it and yet it is still unreal to me. There are days when I wake up not thinking about it and then it hits me in the stomach like a fist. How could this actually happen to us? Looking away 4 seconds...4 seconds and our lives are changed forever...how fast something awful can happen! It's still too much to comprehend.

Selah had PT come in with the wheelchair person and she had a custom ordered wheelchair ordered for her. It will fit her and be more comfy than the loaner she has now. This afternoon she had a massage session with the therapist I go to. She came to our home to do it. Selah basically has slept through everything! She was exhausted. Her stats have been perfect and the nurse just feels she needs to catch up on her sleep. She is comfortable. Her upper body is relaxed but her knees and ankles are just awful! They are so tight. She really reacts to stress by tightening up. The PT and the nurse have seen her so relaxed, actually the PT said she got a 45% range of motion on her knees at her evaluation. Today she had no ROM whatsoever, just like in Jax at the rehab!! I have to say the sleepiness has worried me but the nurse thinks it is really good for her.

For the first time since the accident. I'm allowing the boys to spend the night over at one of my BFF's house. She also has 5 kids and my boys each have a friend there. She didn't know this was their first time away since the accident so she has promised to sit up tonight with a fire extinguisher and the phone in one hand while her husband mans the guns ! LOLOL! I've always been a protective mom but since the accident, let's just kindly say that protectiveness went into over drive!!!!!

Several folks have asked about my neck and it is worse than ever, I now get spasms down it. I've tried massage and it does help but it doesn't last. I guess I'm going to have to try and go to a doctor next week about it. I don't even know where to start and NO chiropractors for me! This morning was the worst ever!

So today has been a quiet day, Selah sleeping, the boys gone...oh I wish we could go back 6 months and change things....I wish that with all my heart!

Been praying for your family! Would you consider magnesium for your neck? I take Natural calm magnesium supplement. It's a natural muscle relaxant. Doesn't taste the best (at all!) But works great. Check out symptoms for magnesium deficiency--bet it won't hurt! :)
